Fridge - replacement thermostat needed ..?
HI all
(never mind the garage roof - see earlier posting & many thanks to those who answered with suggestions - we've got a more urgent problem...!) Our fridge (Electra Eco larder fridge) has just started running continously - even when the thermostat is set to '0' the compressor still runs. Temperature overnight inside the fridge dropped to -4 or so! Does this sound like the 'stat ? I know they often fail open-curcuit - but this one sounds as if it's failed 'short' Is replacing the 'stat a fairly simple DIY job - I'm happy around electrics / electronics - just never had the need to take a fridge apart before ! I see that CPC do a 'universal' 'stat....... - anybody done this repair, comments / suggestions etc ? Thanks Adrian Suffolk UK |

Thanks Adrian Suffolk UK Yes it almost certainly is the stat and yes they do fail to the always on position.. They are fairly easy to replace joe Change the 900 to 670 in the return email address to reply |
